Fast Track Aftaler

Aarhus University standard agreements

The legal contract team at AU Corporate Relations and Technology Transfer has introduced a range of standard agreements for use by University departments and centres. The standard agreements establish a fast track-model for agreements, which supposes that no changes are required to the standard terms. Further the fast track agreements do not apply to clinical research activities.

Who can sign AU fast track agreements

In accordance with AU procedures and delegation fast track agreements which have been approved by the legal contract team may be signed by the authorized Head of Department, where no amendments to the terms of the agreement are needed.

How to use AU fast track agreements

Each fast track agreement contains schedules and/or highlighted fields which you must complete. The completed agreement and schedule must be sent to the legal contract team for final approval before signature of the agreement is initiated. A copy of the executed agreement must be sent to the legal contract team at tto@au.dk to be registered within central records.

Fast track agreements are updated regularly, and should be downloaded from the AU Corporate Relations and Technology Transfer website as needed, to ensure that the latest version is used at all times.

What to do if changes to the standard terms are required

You must contact the legal contract team at tto@au.dk if you or the other party wish to change any of the terms and conditions contained in the standard agreements, as all such change(s) must be reviewed and approved by the legal contract team.
